Chicago Blackhawks · 2026-27How to use this →Chicago Blackhawks preview →How this works
Give every man his job — line, pair, power play, kill — and the projection follows the minutes. Type over any number to set it yourself. Your changes are yours: take them into a mock draft, a spreadsheet or a live draft.
This lineup spends 1.3 minutes more than a game has. Five skaters times sixty minutes is 300, so somebody has to give minutes back before these numbers can all happen at once.
